you hear the breeze weaving between the peaks and the valleys..
and you hear the chip of birds basking in the glory of freedom...
you also hear the grass touch the stones...gently growing in the light...
its so silent that you hear it all...and every sound is as though...
its made in silence...hushed...in harmony with the flow of nature...
silent sounds....that keep you silent...for hours...
with the wind, with the birds, with the grass, with the water...
together...in awe of that Mother we call Nature...

- from me to you...because it takes 'one' to know 'one'

Image taken near the Lamayuru monastery in in the Ladakh Himalayas.
Known as one of the oldest and largest monasteries in Ladakh, it was built in the 10th Century by two practitioners of Tantric Buddhism and is located in the most fantastic geological folds and schist's rock surroundings, popularly called 'moonscape' thanks to the feel it gives you of being on an alien planet.

The site where the monastery stands was once said to be a huge lake. A buddhist saint "Naropa" meditated here for years to cause a crack in the mountain which drained out the lake and gave him the place to lay the founding stones.When the lake dried out, he found a dead lion lying inside it. On the same spot, he constructed the first temple of the area, known as the Singhe Ghang (Lion Mound).

Lamayuru also marks the meeting place of the Great Himalayan Wall and the East Karakorum Himalaya Ranges.

The image will be the first of a series of images that are being re-worked and re-posted. There were reviews that i was making my HDR images look like cheap snapshots from a phone camera by boxing them with a frame around as well as with some over processing in the colors and vibrance, so some of my favorite images may be seen again...look forward to all your feedback and critique on the newly processed versions.
